Date: Jun 24 2001Major: Psychology (This Major's Salary over time)Berkeley is not a place for everyone. For those who enjoy a large student body, lively surroundings, demanding courses and fascinating students Berkeley is the place for you. For those who are a little timid or unsure of their ability to be independent I would suggest a smaller school. There are many great opportunites at Berkeley to recieve an incredible education but these opportunities are not handed to you, you have to search for them and make them happen. Also, a lot of people seem to hold the idea that Berkeley is full of hippies, radicals and eccentrics. While many of the city residents are this way, the university it's self is full of individuals who are more politically centered than anything.
